- You know that program called VistaPro for the Amiga?
-
- There is a mention of it in this month's Popular Science, page 45,
- "Electronics Newsfront", but not the Amiga version. It says:
-
- "... Terra-forming Mars or taking walks around Crater Lake, for example,
- are both possibile with Virtual Reality Labs new $130 Vistapro landscape
- generator for IBM compatibles..."
-
- No mention of Amigas, or the fact that this is hardly new and that the
- same software, written for the Amiga in the first place, costs a lot
- less than $130. Maybe we should write to them and say, "This program
- has been available for Amigas for years, and is in fact a port to
- MS-DOS'. In addition, the Amiga has other similar products such as
- Scenery Animator."
